Not Male Chocolate Covered Goodies!

We are hosting a big conference at our church this saturday and I am responsible for the refreshments. It was decided that we would host a “chicks and chocolate” event for the 700 ladies that are scheduled to attend. As you can imagine making over 3000 thousand pieces of chocolate confections is a HUGE job! So my friend Ann and I began to solicit helpers by any means we could. We made announcements at church, we e-mailed, we sent out a message on Facebook and made personal phone calls………nothing! Everyone was either busy or not interested. When Ann and I began to work on this project Tuesday I quickly realized that if we didn’t get some help we were gonna be in big trouble.

I decided that I would send out a mass text. This is the one avenue that we had not tried so I thought, what the heck, I will give it a whirl, (boy did I give them a whirl!).

The text was supposed to read something like this: Would you be interested in helping me make some chocolate covered goodies on Wednesday? Sounds innocent enough right? Well, as usual, I screwed it up! This simple plea for help turned into a fiasco to say the least!

The text ended up something like this: Would you be interested in helping with male chocolate covered goodies?

Can you believe my luck?

All I was trying to do was make a bunch of chocolate for some church ladies, who probably didn’t even need it, and look what happens! Geeze!

Well in a matter of seconds the texts started rolling in so fast that I couldn’t keep up! I thought Wow, they must really wanna help! Then, when I read the first response I realized that something had gone horribly!

These are just some of the responses that I got back (the names have been changed to protect the innocent).

Well…my my my, that sounds interesting!!

Exactly what ARE male chocolate covered goodies?

(this was from the husband of one of the girls) I didn’t realize Kay was sharing our personal fetishes…never tried chocolate….could be fun!

Um, you need to READ the text u sent me…. I think you ment to say “make” chocolate goodies!

I would LOVE to make male chocolate goodies but I have a Dr. appt

You shouldread what you just sent me, it sounds like we are covering males with chocolate and if that’s true , then I’m in!

Can you belive this? I Can get myself into the biggest messes sometimes. I can just hear them now, “did you here that Pastor Devin’s wife was covering males with chocolate in the church kitchen?? After recieving ALL of these messages I spent an hour trying to undo the mess I created!

I feel left out…..I did not get the invitation to cover anything in chocolate. However, since trying to make cream of wheat resulted in a major mess….my neck collar and looking down, stirring, etc…. turned into a fiasco…. not nearly as entertaining as yours. Hope you got some volunteers to help lighten the load. Keep the humor coming, I have many hours that need to be filled with something enjoyable. Love you….you are the best.

O.K. Did your spell check not work? I knew I should not have left you unattended without a proofreader. Everyone here in Lockhart, North Carolina are laughing and asking questions like –now is this really your daughter? Mac has laughing tears running down his face. Don’t think I’ll ever eat chocolate again. MOM

Okay….where did you get that cute idea of ‘chix & chocolate’…must be from a very special friend! Steal my event and don’t even give me credit…I see how you are!
BTW, sure am sorry I missed that little chocolate making party!
xoxo!
